Chasing Masculinity

Ep 54 Fatherlessness & the Rise of Digital Father Models

Episode 54

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke confronts one of the most defining issues shaping young men today: fatherlessness. Not just the emotionally distant or passive father, but the literal absence of men in the home, leading to the collapse of stable families, commitment, and masculine leadership. 

This leads to a cultural vacuum that has led to the rise of digital father figures, the influencers and personalities who now shape male identity through algorithms rather than relationships. Tune in to learn how digital models can offer ideas, but they cannot correct character, build discipline, or teach a man how to carry responsibility.
